Double poison, which everyone has now, kills even dragons, in well under the extra thirty seconds. CC-defence troops are neutered.
There need to be some challenge to this.
Have the CC defence troops return to the castle when they have no target.

While I understand your frustration at this, realize that the CC is one of the most powerful defenses in the game. It doesn't need a buff.

Having the troops return only buffs the CC against a lure and slowly destroy attack. For a committed attack with an active battle with the CC troops, this change would make no effect.
*I haven't tried this against a lava hound. I still think a lavahound CC defense is best ignored.
Have people not yet realized that they can destroy any troops with two sequential poison spells in 15 seconds?
Use a golem/lavahound. Simple as that. Also, when a troop is destroyed, its destroyed so why should it come back huh?

If a troop is lured out of the CC by a single Hog, that hog dies, poison is dropped but no more troops are placed, the troops should wander back into the CC, not stand around stupidly in the poison. This would, in practice, mean that to poison CC troops you have to keep placing lures.
At the moment, there is no need to lure to the edge of the map, Just lure out of the CC, and poison them where they stand. Possibly lure out from one side, then another, to get them all out while keeping them still bunched. Poison level 1 version 1 already destroyed tier 1 troops and minions as useful CC troops. Accelerating damage on troops remaining in the poison destroyed the usefulness of wizards balloon and witches. Now that spell donation means that by default everyone has two poison spells, with accelerating damage, all defense troops that stand still stupidly in the poison cloud die in less time than the added battle time. The CC as a defense is very nearly completely nerfed, it is just a week or so until everyone works this out.
"Use a golem/lavahound" is not much of a solution. That is very limited solution, and these are not very tricky CC defenders.
You already get your troops back. In war. Why not that? And another simple fix would to be to "request" when you need it. Also for the golem/lavahound not being tricky defenders, would you have a dead dragon that really did nothing but made the attack spend a couple of troops and 2 spell slots to destroy it or actually having a clan castle set-up that actually does damage to troops.Quote:

Me and some of my friends put a golem in the clan castle just for defence in match-making against barch or gibarch.Quote:

We played with golems in CCs. They do little damage and attract attackers to themselves, advantaging the attacker.
the point is not that CC defense is completely worthless, but that it has been severely nerfed. A little defender AI is needed.
